He's the light of my life. As a result of my messy divorce, Jimmy is having a lot of problems dealing with his mother. (I'll call her Elaine.) Elaine calls only when it's convenient for her and refuses to give me her address or phone number, making it Impossible for Jimniy to contact her. The judge ordered her to take parentmg classes and suspended her visitation until she complies. My stepdaughter has been in touch with Elaine, and I have allowed her to pick up Jimmy and take him to vis1t his mother, because I want him to know her. Until last year Elaine was addicted to drugs, but claims she's clean now due to her probation. My dilemma: Elaine owes me $5,000 in child suprort. I' ve been paid a tota of $214.15. Now the judge has ordered her to pay me a certain amount or she will be sent to jail for six months. Elaine has blamed me in front of Jimmy for her situation. He is hurt by this and blames me for the possibility of "putting Mommy in jail," even though she's the one responsible for her own actions.

In a sense, it has allowed your little boy to be victimized again because of Elaine's brainwashing. My advice is to keep your son in counseling - and follow the judge's rules from now on. Be sure the counselor is aware of everything that 's happening , as well as your son's teachers. Spend as much time with your son as you can. He needs you now more than ever. DEAR ABBY: My mother was married once before she married my dad . She has· a son; "Morris," from that first marriage. When Dad and Mom were married, my dad adopted Morris. My parents have been divorced almost 20 years now, and Dad's mother ("Granny O'Hara") does not acknowledge my half-brother as her grandchild, nor his wife or their lovely children. I will receive a large inheritance from Granny O'Hara, and I feel that Morris should be included in this bequest. Please let me know i( you agree, and what you think would be the best way to approach Granny about this. She knows I am close with my half-brother and is kind about asking about him, but I feel he deserves more. This is a touchy subject. - WANTS TO BE FAIR IN OHIO DEAR WANTS TO BE FAIR: It apJ?ears that your grandmother mtends to keep her estate in her biological family - to be passed on to blood relatives only.

Horace and Dorothy Karr are the developers of the 6,000 square foot restaurant to be called the "Wild Horse Cafe." Steaks, pork, chicken, fish and Mexican dishes will be served in a southwestern atmosphere, according to the Karrs, who noted that as soon as plans are approved by the state and the weather improves construction will begin. Plans are for the restaurant to be open by late summer. "The Wild Horse Cafe will feature a 104-foot riverfront veranda that will seat 50 above a 100-foot boat docking facility on the river with steel stairs leading to the main building," said Horace Karr. "The restaurant will have 138 seats in non-smoking and 60 in smoking," he added. He also noted that it will include a folding partition to separate a section of the room to accommodate up to 70 people for meetings or parties. There will be windows across the back of the one-story structure -so that patrons wiJ1 have a good view of the river and the new lighted Pomeroy-Mason bridge also scheduled to go under consb11ction in the spring. Parking for 68 vehicles has been included in the plans. Karr said that the outside veranda will be two feet lower than the main floor of the building, so that people inside can see the river-. The restaurant will be built on West Main Street on land purchased by..the Karrs from John Fultz of Middleport. Buildings on the land which housed a variety of businesses over the years were torn down several months ago. "The Wild Horse Cafe might remind you of an Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday," said Karr. "I hope to create a restaurant . where the people of Meigs, Mason and Galha Counties can enjoy that type of dining without driving all the way to Parkersburg or Athens." He said the restaurant will employ 54 people . .

Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank said cuts in assistance from the state will contin ue to add to Meigs County 's financial woes, and said he doesn't expect the financial condition of the county to improve for at least five years. As revenue from state assistance and the county 's local sales tax remains low, the cost of funding state mandates, such as the local share of public assistance and public defender services, continue to increase. "State mandates are the worst thing that can happen to local gov- ernments, and those mandates, com- sana! property tax collection continbined with cuts in local govern ment ues at approximately $2 million per assistance from the state, are goi ng year, generating only about $10,000 to make the going tough for Meigs annually in additional revenue.

Martin said. Originally planned as a 150-to- 175 bed jail, with space available for lownsk federal prisoners, the project is now envisioned as a 70-bed facility to meet a growing need for jail space the current county lockup can't meet. "You find that it' s only a matter of time, " said Martin. "There's only so much you can do with an old facility, and the state mandates a lot of what I do with the jail." The regional jail concept arose in 200 I and has been discussed by the county with Integrated Correctional Services International Inc., Atlanta, Ga., a consulting firm that developed a plan showing the need for more jail space in Gallia. The current jail was opened in the late 1950s with a capacity for I 8 prisoners. The maximum has increase d to 24, Martin said.

The students at New Haven Elementary have learned some lessons about building character. In a "Character Counts" magic show recently, Garry Boothe, representing the Labor Education and Development program from Wayne, W. Va., used magic, ventriloquism and balloon artistry to present lessons and ideas to teach the children about the six pillars of character - trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. He got the children involved by using members of the audience to participate in his skits. For example, he demonstrated respect through Brian Weese, a boy from the audience, who portrayed "Cedric, the ventriloquist doll. He placed a mask over Weese's face that had a pull string to move the mouth and made "Cedric" talk to the audience, using ventriloquism, but asked permission from him first. He used the illustration to tell the audience that no one can make you a dummy unless you let them. · Sunday, January 12, 2003 Our e-mall t!Jddreuea are: Q:ribunr • Gallipolis, OH newailmydallytrlbune.com Sentinel • Pomeroy, OH news II mydallyaentlnel.com l\rgisttr • Pt.

' ~•.k.IJ· Senator missed her point, but shouldn't be vilified for thought • The Washington Post, on the freedom to criticize American foreign policy: There is a danger that people will become afraid to criticize any aspect of American foreign policy, lest they be branded "anti-American." That, at any rate, is the conclusion many will reach after reading of Sen. Patty Murray's experience. Sen. Murray's (D-Wash.) crime, it seems. was to make an ill-worded and rather silly speech last week to a high schoo.l fn Vancouver, Wash ., that was then excerpted by the Columbian, a newspaper in Vancouver, Canada. By the weekend, the chairman of the Republican Party in Washington state had publicly questioned Sen. Murray 's patriotism. According to the Columbian, she said that Osama bin Laden has "been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them. with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?" . Sen. Murray got a few things very wrong. Nevertheless, there is a deeper point that Sen. Murray, with extraordinary ineptitude, seemed to be trying to make - a point that is worth preserving: At the very least, it ought to be possible to discuss America's image in the Islamic world, and the kinds of mistakes the United States has made there. Thi s is a point worth debatin~. and no one should be called "unpatriotic" for bringing It up . TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Jan. 12, the 12th day of 2003. There are 353 days left in the year. Today 's Highlight in History: On Jan. 12, 1773, the first public museum in America was established, in Charleston, S. C.

OUR READERS' VIEWS It goes both ways Dear Editor: I' II bet that Mr. Den Dickerson didn' t know that the bridge between Mason and Pomeroy-Middlerort and the Silver Bridge between Pomt Pleasant and Gallipolis runs two ways, not just one, as he suggests. (Sunday, Jan . 5 .) The Wal-Mart area at Mason is new and people from Ohio and West Virginia shop there. But for many years, people from Mason County have driven across the same teetering and aged bridge to shop in Pomeroy and Middleport (and still do) helping their economies to stay afloat, too. It takes people from both sides of the river to help keep the whole area afloat. Rest assured, Mr. Dickerson, not only do Mason countians drive across the Silver Bridge to get to their jobs; but there are also droves of Ohio citizens who drive across the same bridge to work in West Virginia. Where a person works should have nothing to do with where he lives.As far as all the hate you say Mason countians have for Pomeroy, Middleport and Gallipolis is hogwash. Sure, there ·are some people who hate everything and everybody and probably themselves, too. But, that does not rep. resent all of Mason County. I' II bet you have people like that in Ohio, too. I wonder' how many hate letters you've received? Personally, I interpreted your letter as a slap at Mason County. I hope I am wrong. One thing I do agree with you on is tourism for all three counties. I do believe that could work. Clifford N. Oliver Point Pleasant, W.Va. Heres a solution Dear Editor: Yeah, it's me again. This year I' ve written to you often to complain about things . •in general or to gr\pe about sometl\tng ' I :can't do a111ythmg about except gripe. But I also know that by griping and complaining that sometimes I reach people who are smarter than I am . Perhaps they are in a better position than I ,l\m in to get things done. Maybe they are more caring and committed than I am and can make a difference where I can't. Thanks for allowing me to gripe and complain. This letter is about offering a solution to growing probli!m and one that everyone can help solve.' A's the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and as unemployment grows, more· stress is put on family incomes. People are forced to turn to churches or community food banks for help. During Thanksgiving and Chri stmas holidays, people are generous and there may be more than enbllgh supply to ' meet needs. However, need often exceeds SUJ?ply and food may not be readily avatlable when needed. · My church has a practice which 'helps those who need food and blesses those who supply it without great sacrifice. · It's a win-win situation that I'd like to · share with the community. . · .· Once each month - the fust Sunday of each month, church members are asked to fast 24 hours and to miss three . meals.

"! .Josiers," of course, is what people from Indiana proudly call themselves, and for an excellent reason, which I will explain shortly. Unfortunately, I managed to get a batch of Hoosiers very upset recently, when I wrote a column about which is the stupidest state. For the record, I did NOT say that Indiana is the stupidest state. I believe that many states, including mine, are stupider than Indiana. What I did say and I now realize that I was wrong was that "Hoosier" :s a stupid nickname. My argument was that nobody seemed to know what a "Hoosier" is, so why would you go around calling yourself one? I stated that, for all we know, "Hoosier" could be a Native American word for "has sex with caribou." Many people wrote in to object, strongly, to that statement, including one Hoosier who pointed out that and it is hard to argue with this logic"Indiana has lro caribou." Several .. Native American s were also quite upset, so let me first apologize to them, and state for the record that "Hoosier" is NOT a Native American word for "has sex with caribou." I am sure there IS no Native American word for "has sex with caribou," at least not referring to residents of Indiana, although I imagine there might be a Native American term to describe caribou having sex with other caribou, and I think we can all agree that thi s is perfectly proper. I also wish to apologize to the dozen or so readers who were upset about reading the term "sex with caribou" in a family newspaper. I realize that, in this col umn , I have already used the term "sex with caribou " a number of times, but I frankly don 't know how else I can explain what I am apologizing for. But you have my assurance that, as long as I Nm in charge of this column, you will Dave Barry COLUMNIST not see the term "sex with caribou" again. . Speaking of havi ng sex with cari bou, we turn now to the many irate Indiana residents who wrote to point out that I am a moron for stating that nobody knows what "Hoosier" means. According to these people, EVERY BODY in Indiana knows what "Hoosier" means, and if I had just bothered to ask a Hoosier. I could have had the simple, well -known answer, and would not have made such an idiot out of myself. So to clear this issue up once and for all , here , according to the letters I received, is what "Hoosier" means: • "Hoosier" was the name of a contractor who worked on the Ohio River in the early 19th century. • "Hoosier" is a word meaning "highlander" or "hill-dweller." • "Hoosier" is a v•ord referring to anything large of its kind . · • "Hoosier" comes from when somebody would knock on a cabin door. and Indi ana people would say. "Who's there ?" • "Hoosier" comes from when Indiana people would stand on the riverbank and shout to people on boats, "Who is ya?" • " Hoosier" comes from when Pomeroy • Middleport • Gaiiipolla, Ohio • Point Pleal_ant, WV .•.

The commitment )'las discussed with county commissioners late in 2002, but with Skip Meadows' departure from office and replacement by Harold Montgomery this month, it was agreed to let the commissioners have more time to consider the proposal.

He did not Jearn to sit up, roll over, walk, talk or feed himself. He still cannot do any of those things. · "He is total care," said Sylvia. · Sylvia said that earlier this year, Georgie got very sick and had to be hospitalized.

Sylvia said he has not had as many seizures since it was insertd e .:Before, he was having about two seizures a week; now . he rarely has any. I think it is because he doesn't loose much of his medicine like he did when he took it by mouth," said Sylvia. Georgie attends a severe/profound class at the Mason County Career school five days a week. He has his own nurse that attends him . The state of West Virginia requires that all handicapped children attend school until the age of 21. Patricia Gray, Georgie's nurse, said that most children who attend need stimulus, but Georgie doesn't do well with a lot of stimulus.

The county is making use of regional jails at Nelsonville, Marietta and Circleville, as well as covering housing and medical costs for inmates at its own facility,, which Martin said has eaten away at the sheriff 's budget. Last year, Martin cited increasing costs in housing prisoners charged with violent crimes being held for longer periods while their cases await court action . "I know it's a )Jig undertaking for the county,'' Martin said about the new jail. "But it's something we have no control over. The rise in crime will continue." The current jail remains up to standard through his corrections staff's efforts, Martin said. "I'd like to commend Lt. Howaril Mullins for trying to keep the jail in compliance with those standards," the sheriff said. "He's done a tremendous job." Martin and Mullins discussed jail needs with commissioners Thursday, and Martin invited them to tour the jail at any time . little jittery and the weather is nice, I will take him outside in his wheelchair. He likes to be pushed in the hall, too, but he especially likes it outside," said Gray. Gray said that even though Georgie is not verbal, he is able to communicate. "It's sort of a spiritual thing. He communicates through his eyes, gestures and body language. I don't know how much he is aware of it, but he does. If he is hurt, I can read it in his face and his eyes. If he is pleasant, it shows in his l)ody language," said Gray. Gray gives Sylvia a lot of credit. "She is a super mom. I don't know how she is with her other children, but I can tell you that she is always there for ·Georgie. I don't know Georgie's dad, but I can testify to his mom's devotion," said Gray. George Sr. and Sylvia have two older children, Crystal and Corey. Sylvia said that Corey is leery of hurting his little brother, so doesn't hold him often, b\lt Crystal is as comfortable with Georgie as she is. Sylvia has a great support group. Her husband, daughter, parents, mother-in-law and sister-in-law have been wonderful said Sylvia. Her dad has put Georgie on the school bus for her each day for years; her mother gets him off the bus; her daughter, a registered nurse, comes to help her "all the time" and her sister-in-law is always there for her, according to Sylvia. "My husband and I have grown so close because of Georgie," said Sylvia. Georgie has his own routine. He goes to school each day, sleeps a lot, spends time with the extended family and spends lots of time in his colorful room which is decorated in bright red, blue and yellow and Elmo is on the walls, bed, and shelves. "He loves to listen to music and he loves Elmo," said Sylvia, pointing out his collection of Elmo dolls on a shelf, as she tucks another Elmo under his arm. "I know that someday when George and I get old that he will probably have to go into a home, but I can't imagine him being any place but here," said Sylvia.

Ohio to get four new power plants COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The electricity shortages that were a problem in Ohio a few years ago will be much less likely after four new electric power plants open in the state this year. The mostly gas-llred plants will provide a maximum 3,440 megawatts of electricity by summer's end. That is equal to threefourths of all the new power added in Ohio from 1999 to 2002- record years in themselves when 4,3 10 megawatts came online. Befure that, only two plants had been built in Ohio during the 1990s. "Given the state of the economy and the amount of elec- · tricity that 's ou~ there, I was · surprised to see that amount · online and moving forward,'' said Alan R. Schriber, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Electricity supply is ahead of demand by about II percent in Ohio. As of last summer, the state was producing 30 percent of all new electricity generated in the nine-state area monitored by the East Central Area Reliability Council. The Hanging Rock plant, in Lawrence County. is the largest of the four new plants. It has a $502 million price tag and will generates I ,240 megawatts more than enough electricity to power I million average-size homes. The other new plants and their costs are the Waterford plant in Washington County, $331 million; the Rolling Hills plant in Vinton County, $307 million; and the Dresden plant in Muskingum County, $258 million. The power surge has its critics. Some point out that much of the electricity generated in Ohio goes on the national power grid for use out of state. Others have environmental concerns such as air and water pollution and loss of farm land and green space to !he plants. most of which are in rural areas. Power plants typically use large amou·nts of water, sometimes millions of gallons daily. Schriber said power from new plants will continue to grow in the next few years. reaching a total of 8.454 megawatts of additional clcc- · tricity by 2005 .

Rumsfeld has ordered about 62,000 more U.S. troops to head for the Persian Gulf region in coming days, doubling the size of the force now arrayed on the periphery of Iraq, two senior U.S. officials said Saturday. The movements make clear that the Pentagon , intends to have.sufficient force in place for an Iraq war as early as the first weeks of February, although the White House says President Bush has not yet decided to attack. Just hours after officials disclosed on Friday that Rumsfeld had ordered nearly 35,000 troops, including two large Marine units, to· ship out for a possible war with Iraq, the defense secretary signed another order to deploy 27,000 more troops, mainly Army and Air Force combat units. One senior official with access to the deployment orders said the units designated for deployment in the latest Rumsfeld order include a squadron of Air Force F-117 stealth fighter-bombers. The F- 117s, based at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., played a key role in the 1991 Gulf War. The order also includes thousands of Marines and an Armv airborne infantry brigade, the official said. The New York Times reported on its Web site Saturday that two squadrons of F-16CJ radarjamming fighters also are included: The troops' actual departure for the potential war zone will be spread out over the rest of January. Central Command, the headquarters that would run any war against Iraq, has begun dispatching its battle staff t" a command post in Qatar, and it is expected to be operational near the end of January. · The Navy has two aircraft carriers within striking distance of Iraq, plus two others ready to join them on short notice. A fifth carrier, the USS Kitty Hawk has received an order to prepar'€ to deploy to the Gulf region from its homeport in Japan , Navy officials said this week. At Camp Lejeune, N.C., officials said Friday that about 7,000 Marines would be leaving soon. They are part of an amphibious task force, to include a variety of air and ground forces . A second amphibious task force of another 7,000 Marines has been ordered to deploy from the West Coast. The two task forces are the centerpiece of Rumsfeld's Friday deployment order. Officials would not reveal other details except to say the order includes forces from . servi ces other than the Marine Corps. Elsewhere. officials said soldiers and fighter pilots from North Carolina bases and B-1 bombers and crews ·in South Dakota will leave soon for the Gulf region. 1\vo B-1s left Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., on Wednesday to begin their deployment. Eventually, about a dozen of the bombers will go, along with about 500 personnel. Rumsfelii's first major deployment order was signed Dec . 24 and called for about 25,000 troops to head overseas. Earlier this week, he signed another order for about 5,000 more troops. With the addition of 35,000 on Friday and 27,000 on Saturday - plus the roughly 60,000 already in the Gulf region - the Pentagon is well on its way to exceeding its goal of having I 00,000 there by Jan. 31. Eventually the size of the U.S. force arrayed against Iraq could reach 250,000, but defense officials have said any U.S. attack ordered by President Bush could begin with I 00,000 or fewer troops in place. The rest could be brought to the fight later or held in reserve. As part of the amphibious task force deploying from the East Coast, three Virginiabased ships received orders Friday, the Navy said. They are the amphibious transport dock ship USS Ponce, the amphibious assault ship USS Saipan and the USS Gunston Hall. The three pulled away ' Friday morning from the Norfolk (Va.) Naval Station. On Wednesday, the commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Jones, said 65,000 to 75,000 Marines mi~ht eventually be called on 1f there is a war against Iraq. A bout I 00 .Marine re servi sts were called to active duty at Fort Knox, Ky, and shipped out Friday for Camp Lejeune . At Fort Bragg; N.C ., fewer than 1,000 soldiers from six units of the 18th Airborne .Corps have received orders and will leave within the next two weeks, post spokesman Maj . Gary Tallman said. He would not give their number or destination . The 18th Airborne Corps already has more than 13,000 troops involved in the war on terrorism. At Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, also in North Carolina, all 4,500 members of the 4th Fighter Wing are on alert, base spokeswoman Lt. Beverly Mock said, but not all will head to the Gulf immediately. She declined to say how many would leave in the next few days. Richardson: North Korea does not intend to build nuclear Weapons WASHINGTON (AP)- A senior North Korean diplomat contends his country does not intend to build nuclear wear.ons, New Mexico Gov. B11l Richardson said Saturday as he concluded three days of talks with envoys from the communist nation. U.S. officials, reacting with skepticism, noted that North Korea on Friday said it would quit a treaty designed to curb the spread of nuclear technology, and on Saturday said it was considering restarting missile tests and may begin work to make atomic bombs. While North Korean representatives were meeting with Richardson, ihe country "continued to take steps in the wrong direction ... that would raise tensions with the international community," State Department spokeswoman Nancy Beck said. " The United States has made clear that we are prepared to talk to North Korea about its willingness to meet its obligations to the interna. tiona! community," she said. "In New Mexico, North PageA6 Korea did state its willingness to have a dialogue. ... We will look carefully at everything the North Koreans said in New Mexico." The United States is alarmed enough by North Korea's nuclear ambitions that it is looking for U.N. support to harness the country's nuclear weapons programs. Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in Santa Fe, N.M., that North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador, Han Song Ryol , said during the talks that "North Korea has no intentions of building nuclear weapons." Later, in an Associated Press interview, he said he hoped "North Korea will tone down the rhetoric and start engaging the U.S. in a better atmosphere." Richardson , who said he briefed Secretary of State Colin Powell on the talks, also told the AP: What was unhelpful was at the same time we were having these positive talks, the North Koreans were withdrawing from the Nonproliferation Treaty and threatening to have missile tests." After the talks, Richardson said he believed that the North Koreans "now understand the dept)l of international concern over the issue." Earlier Saturday, North Korea held a rally in the capital, Pyongyang, to declare it would seek "revenge with blood" toward any country that violates its sovereignty. The North has reversed its 1994 pledge to freeze its nuclear weapons programs, a decision that Powell was leading the United States to go to the . U.N. Security Council. North Korean officials said the country does not plan to rejoin the nonproliferation · treaty, but would agree to let the United States verify that it is not producing nuclear weapons if Washington drops its hostile stance. One option open to the Security Council would be to apply worldwide economic sanctions against North Korea, worsening its already despemte economic situation. In the meantime, President Bush talked by telephone Friday to Chinese President Jiang Zemiri in ap effort to take a united stanil-on North Korea. Powell on Friday condemned North Korea's decision to quit the 1968 treaty, saying "North Korea has thumbed its nose at the international community." "It is a very serious sitUation," Powell said. "We are not going to ~~intimidated. We are not going to be put in a panic situation; We are going to work this deliberately." .. At the same ..time, Powell renewed the administration's overture to hold direct talks with North Korea. Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Sweden also denounced tl)e North Korean decision. Japan called on its regional neighbor to 'reverse course. Sunday, January 12, 2003 Gov. Ryan isslles; commutation for · all Illinois death row inmates CHICAGO (AP) Calling the death penalty process "arbitrary and capricious, and therefore immoral," Gov. George Ryan commuted the sentences of 167 condemned inmates Saturday, clearing Illinois' death row in a move unprecedented in scale in U.S. history. Ryan's action, just two days before he leaves office, drew immediate angry reaction from prosecutors, the incoming governor and relatives of some of the victims. Ryan said he sympathized with the families of the men, women and children who had been murdered, but he felt he had to act. "I am not prepared to take the risk that we may execute an innocent person," he wrote in an overnight letter to the victims' families warning them of his plans. With death row inmates he had recently pardoned sining in the audience as he spoke Saturday, Ryan framed the death penalty issue as "one of the great civil rights struggles of our time." "Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error - error in determining jlUilt, and error in deterrninmg who among the guilty deserves to die," Ryan said. "What effect was race having? What effect was poverty baving? "Because of all these reasons, today I am commuting the sentences of all death row inmates." Ryan had halted all executions in the state nearly three years earlier after courts found that 13 Illinois death row inmates had been wrongly convicted since capital punishment resumed in 1977- a period when 12 other inmates were executed. He said studies conducted since that moratorium was issued had only raised more qu~tions about the how the death penalty was imposed. He cited problems with trials, sentencing, the appeals r,rocess and the state's 'spectacular failure" to reform the system. "Because the lllinois death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious - and therefore immoral - I no lon~er shall tinker with the machmery of death," he said. Other governor~ . have issued similar motat<itiums and commutationS; hut Jl!)thing on the scale of W,hat Ryan has done. · · 'The only other thing that would match what he's done is in 1972 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the death penalty and 600 death sentences were reduced to life with that decision," said Richard Dieter, executive · director of the Death Penalty Information Center. The most recent blanket clemency carne in 1986 when the governor of New Mexico commuted the death sentences of the state's five death row inmates. Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening, who last year issued the country's only other moratorium on state executions, has no plans to · pardon or commute tHe sentences of any death row inmate before leaving office Wednesday, spokesman Chuck Porcari said. Ryan chose Northwestern University - where journalism students investigating Illinois death row ·cases helped exonerate some inmates to publicly announce that he was commuting all Illinois death sentences. Corrections Department spokesman Sergio Molina said Ryan had signed commutation orders for 167 people- 156 on death row and other in jails awaiting hearin~s or sentencing for other cnmes. Within a week the department will start movin~ pris- · oners out of- the state ·s two "condemned units" and into the .general populati~n of max1mum-secunty pnsons, Molina said. ..S .

In a game where the threepointers carne down like rain and defense was an after· thought, the Big Blacks just couldn't keep up with · Ravenswood's high powered offense. Ravenswood's Brett Rector and R.J. Balis shot the lights out against Point Pleasant by combining for eight threepointers and 44 of Ravenswood's 70 points. The game started with Ravenswood establishing their three-point shots. The Red Devils scored their first 15 points exclusively on threepoint shots by running high screens that freed up their shooters. This helped Ravenswood jump out to a 15-6 lead that forced the Big blacks to really step tip their tempo. "At times we lost someone for a second, and if you leave Rector and Balis open, they 'II make you pay," said Point Pleasant coach Richie Blain. Early on, Point Pleasant kept the ball in Ashley Pyles hand, hoping that another 25 points might come tonight like they did against Athens. This was not to be, because Ravenswood focused on shutting down the Big Blacks outside game. This forced Point Pleasant inside, and allowed both T.J.

Coach Jonathan Rees said, "This was again a great team effort. It is a confidence builder to go to the Alley at Alexander and come home with a win. That doesn't happen very often. And to win on Jay Rees Night was a special plus." Alexander was led by Tyler Thomas with 19 points, while Jake Hale added 12, Ed Lemaster nine, six each from Shawn Bail and Derek Bobo, ftve by Terry Holben and four from Andy Doudna. Southern jumped into an early lead after Randolph grabbed an offensive board and laid it in for a 2-0 scor!). Unfonunately, Randolph was taken out of the game plan by a staunch Alexander ·defensive game plan. Justin Connolly hit a two pointer and a trey as Southern raced to a 7-2 lead. Thomas hit back to back scores for Alex for a 7-6 tally and then Hill hit a bucket and free throw for Southern and a 10-6 tally. Alex hit a free throw and Terry Holben hit a trey to tie the score at I 0-10. Southern fell to 15-13, but a Hill try put SHS up 16-15 at the end of the first tound. Connolly hit a couple early jumpers off the ball screen and Hill drained a trey, while Josh Smith took a Hill feed and laid it in as part of a surge that gave SHS a 29-19 lead with 1:40 left in the 1st half. Southern looked to pull the ball out in its spread offense to look for a high percentage shot, but four times the Tornadoes shot prematurely. As a result Alex went on a 60 run to end the frame, the score 29-25. Continuing the momentum from the first half, Alexander in the third quarter rolled to a 35-31 advantage, then after a goal by Thomas put SHS down 37-31 , SHS called time out.

The rest was all Craig Randolph. Bottled up for three quarters, Randolph popped the cork on the Alexander defensive bottleneck and put on a 4th period clinic. Randolph scored 18 points in helping SHS drive home the victory, including a 7-9 stint at the foul line.

(AP) - Geography has had no bearing on this rivalry. Nor has realignment. Somehow, the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets manage to face each other nearly every season. On Sunday, these old AFL foe s will play for the fourth time in a year and second time in the playoffs during that time . "It's incredible," Jets coach Hcrm .. n Edwards said. "It's like they are Ol•r rival s from our other division." Although the Jets reside in the AFC East and the Raiders make their living in the AFC West, they nearly always wind up on each other's schedule. Since the Raiders moved back to Oakland in I995 , they have played the Jets six times in the regular season, once in the playoffs. Even next year, they will face off - in Oakland for the sixth consecutive time, includin g playoffs. So there is plenty of familiarity between two of the NFL's hottest teams. Oakland won seve n of its last eight games to earn home-field advantage in tlie AFC playoffs, while the Jets have won eight of 10 since a 2-5 start, including last weekend's 41-0 wild-card rout of Indianapolis. "I just think the game from a familiarity as pect of it, from a personnel standpoint, becomes like a chess match," Raiders coach Bill Callahan said. "How we are going to deploy personnel and certain alignments and formations and matchups, that's integral. But the competition and inner battles will be interesting to watch."

Philadelphia wound up 12-4, won the NFC East title and earned home-field advantage for the ~layoffs. "I m a bit of a realist," said Reid, who received 35 votes from a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. "Without good players and good coaches, you can't sit in this chair and be successful. I'm very fortunate to have that and the support of the organization. "It's not one guy, that's for sure." His players might disagree. They certainly credit Reid with turning around a franchtse that was 3-13 when he took over after the 1998 season. A littleknown offensive assistant from Green Bay, he was a surpri sing hire by owner Jeff Lurie, who obviously saw something special in Reid. The Eagles have gone 5-11, 11-5, 11-5 and 12-4 under Reid, including two division chamr,ionships. "When Andy came in here, he wasn't ltke most new coaches who want to know who to get rid of," running back Duce Staley said. "He wanted to know about the lead_er~hip. He wanted to know who had the character he Wiillted from his team." While Reid made a brilliant, if unpopular, move when he chose Syracuse QB Donovan McNabb with the second overall pick of the '99 draft- Philly's fans wanted Ricky Williams - his work this season might overshadow that and everything else he' s done. Faced with entering the stretch run without McNabb . who broke his right ankle Nov. 17, Reid simply bor~ straight ahe ad with Koy Detmer. And when Detmer injured his elbow in hi s only start, No. 3 quarterback A.J. Feeley Jed the team to four straight wins. "He's very upfront, very fair with everybody with the way he handles everything," Detmer said. "He's very straight,forward. You ~now exactly what's expected ot you. It s not always ltke that in the NFL. A lot of tnnes you are wondering about this , wondering about that. He pretty much lets everybody know where they are at. His strength is with leadership . He has the respect of the team, and guys follow hirp.." Re1d 's NFL coaching guru is Seattle's Mike Holmgren . He spent seven seasons learning under · Holmgren in Green Bay, and came to Philadelphia with : a patient and meticulous plan for success. Clearly, that plan worked. "He 's done a great job," said. Holmgren, whose Seahawks lost to the Eagles and Feeley 27-20 last month . ··1 never had a doubt in my mind. " I' ve known Andy a long time. He 's quite a P.erson . He 's a good coach, but he's really a good man.' And the right man for the job. Reid easily beat out Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher. who got six votes. New York Jets coach Herman Edwards received three, while Baltimore's · Brian Billi ck got two . Oakland's Bill Callahan and the New York Giants ' J i.m Fassel each got one. Reid is the first Eagles coach to win the award since Ray Rhodes - the man Reid succeeded - got it in · 1995. Buck Shaw won it in I960, when the Eagles won the NFL title. Chicago ·s Dick Jauron won t(le award last season. Bv FRED GOODALL TAMPA, f1a. (AP) - Steve Mariucci hasn't spent much time thinking about what might have .been if he hadn't waffled on an offer to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. Friend and former colleague Jon Groden wound up with the job, and their teams meet Sunday in a NFC divisional playoff game. "It was interesting. It was flattering, you know, those sort of things,' Mariucci said of the interest the sons of Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer expressed in hiring him as coach and general manager II months ago. Mariucci met with the Glazers for six hours at a Los Angeles hotel last February and agreed to consider their offer overnight. But sen.sing the coach was reluctant to leave the 49ers, the Bucs called Oakland owner AI Davis and struck a deal to pry Gruden from the Raiders before Mariucci even had a chance to accept or reject Tampa Bay's offer. The 49ers coach said he has nq regrets. ''They needed to do what was best for their team and their organization. I needed to do what was best for my team, this organization, my family, and those son of things. It all worked out very well, I think, for everybody involved," Mariucci said. "I was so happy for Jon. I know they had spoken to Jon prior to that, and spoken to some other coaches. We had put all of that on the table, and we were talkihg about all of that. At the end of the day, it worked out San Francisco head coach Steve Mariucci reacts on the sidelines during their NFC wild card game against the New York Giants in San Francisco, Calif., Jan. 5.

"National ·champtOnship game this year and last year, you have to get Ken," said Cox, a defensive back for Pittsburgh who grew up in Miami. "Plus, he's from my hometown." Dorsey, of . the national runner-up Hurricanes, threw for 192 yards and led a scoring drive in the East's 20-17 victory in the East-West Shrine Classic on Saturday. West Virginia's Avon Cobourne ran for two touchdowns, and Donald Lee of Mississippi State caught four passes for 122 yards and the go-ahead score for the East. Loutsiana State's Jerel Myers added six catches for 148 yards. The game features man>' of the nation's premier college players, divtded into teams from the East and West. "I was hoping to get 100 yards," said Coboume, who finished with 72 on seven carries. "I did what I could. I just came down here to make myself a little more known." Dorsey was the first of three quarterbacks for the East, and retumed in the fourth quarter. He was 9-of-18 passing and directed the scoring drive on the .East's first possession, capped by Coboume's 41-yard run. It was almost like a home game for Dorsey, who was a star at Miramonte High School m nearby Orinda. Dorsey's Hurricanes lost the Fiesta Bowl to Ohio State 31-24 in double overtime Jan. 3, and the quarterback was happy to have another chance to put the pads on so soon. · It wasn't just his teammates who wanted his autograph. Dorsey had about 100 fans in the stands at Pacific Bell Park. The closest lle'd ever played to home during college was at Washmgton and in Los Ange1es. Shadyside 66.

As head coaches, Gruden and Mariucci have faced each other once in the regular season, with Oakland defeating San Francisco in 2000.

Kobe Bryant wasn' t interested in shooting 3-pointers. Mi ssing his only two shots from beyond the arc, Bryant drove and made several floating dunk s, dished the ball off to open teammate s and rebounded . It all added up to. a triple-double in the Los Angeles Lakers' 115-99 vic tory Friday night over Cleveland. Bryant, who set an NBA mark for 3-pointers in a game with 12 including a league-record nine in a row in the Lakers ' win over Seattle on Tuesday, had 21 points, II assists and 10 rebounds against the Cavaliers for his fifth tripledouble o f the season and eighth of his career. The victory gave the Lakers their first three-game winning streak of the season. " We w er e really aggressive on the defeilsi ve side of the ball . We ' re moving the ball very well and reading the defense very well," Bryant said. " We got a lot of easy points in transition, and that helped out a lot. "We were able to force turnovers, whic h create easy baskets. I think if we continue to pressure teams and take them out of their comfort zone, we 'II be able to do that on a consistent basis. " ~ Shaquille O'Neal, who played the second half with a pad on his left shin after being bruised by an accidental kick in the second quarter, had 26 points . 0' Neal was 9-of-18 from the floor and 8-of-10 from the line as Los Angeles avenged one of its most embarrassing losses ever. The Lakers scored a franchise low poiin total in an 89-70 loss at Cleveland on Nov. 5, shooting just 32 percent from the field . O'Neal was still sidelined following toe surgery. "We owed them one," Bryant said. "It's always embarrassing to lose like that. But you kind of put it in your memory bank and move onto the next game. "We came out tonight and really put it on them." Cleveland coach John Lucas was impressed, saying "They are begin ning to put it together. People are going to have to watch that team." Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who had 20 points, said, "Shaq makes a big difference. That i s not the team we played in Cleveland." Derek Fisher and Rick Fox added 13 points each for the Lakers, whose starters all scored in double figures and shot 61 percent from the floor. · Ricky Davis scored 27 points for the Cavaliers, who lost for the sixth time in seven games and have an NBA-worst 7-30 record. Fox scored all his points in the third quaner as Los Angeles built as much as a. 28-point lead, 92-64. Lakers reserves mopped up in the fourth. "We're looking pretty good, and hopefully we'll be at .500 ~oing into the All- Star game," 0 Neal said after the Lakers improved to 16-20. "We didn't start off too well, but we're getting our momentum back. "There's still a lot of room for improvement, but we're playing good team basketball and playing with a lot of energy." Bryant and Fisher helped the Lakers take control in the second quarter and Los Angeles led 65-49 at halftime. With Bryant zipping the ball from the right corner across the court, Fisher hit consecutive 3-pointers for a 56-41 lead, then added a jumper and another 3-pointer off Bryant's assists before halftime. NOTES: Before the game, O'Neal said he was joking, not being a racist, when he used a mock Chinese accent talking about Houston center Yao Ming . The Lakers' center said he tries to be a comedian at ti mes, and "Sometimes I make a good joke and sometimes it' s a bad joke. That's just the ups and downs of trying to be a comedian." .. .

Instead, she dreams of spending a few hours of quiet time with her husband Dick and their cat Stormy in their historic home overlooking Raccoon Creek. ccepting W.Va. Fishing Report CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The West Virginia fishing report released Thursday by the Division of Natural Resources: BEECH FORK- Lake is approximately 1 foot above winter recreation level. Lake and tailwater are muddy. Fishing in deep water with minnows can provide catches of saugeye and walleye for anglers using a slow retrieve of buzzbaits and spinners along the shorelines. Largemouth and sponed bass may also be taken in this manner. BLUESTONE - Lake is at winter recreation level. Lake and tail· water are cloudy. With the winter weather, anglers may be limited In their ability to get back on the lake and enjoy some fishing. Remember, fish are still active, but typically have a slower metabo· lism,. so anglers should fish slowly and methodically. During cold weather, bass may be caught in deeper water off rocky points on live ba~ such as minnows or nightcrawlers. Anglers should look for points that drop off into the main channel and that have some cover such as stumps or logs. Some hybrid striped bass may be caught on large minnows. Anglers should try spots such as the mouth of the Bluestone Arm or near the dam. A few anglers are catching some smallmouth and white bass in the tailwater. BURNSVILLE - Lake is at winter recreation level.' Lake and tailwater are clear. Fishing has been average, but anglers should try the standing timber and any structure in about 15 feet of water for big bass. Sponed bass have been caught along the shoreline. Crappie are hining jigs in about 10 feet of water around fish anractors. A few saugeye are also being caught off of points with jigs. Bluegill have been caught with worms. Some saugeye are tieing picked up on jigs in the tailwater. EAST LYNN - Lake is at winter recreation level. Lake and tailwa. ter are clear. Anglers fishing in deep water with minnows and grub· tipped jigs can catch saugeye and walleye. Slowly retrieving buzzbaits and crankbaits along the shorelines will provide catches of largemouth and spotted bass. R.D. BAILEY - Lake is approximately 2 feet above winter recreation level. Lake and tailwater are clear. The winter weather may hin· der anglers' ability to get back on the lake for some fishing. Please remember that during the winter season, fish are still active but have a slower metabolism, so anglers should fish slowly and methodically. Sponed bass should be hitting plastic jigs in crayfish colors, and min· nows may_be another good bet. The spotted bass will be found along the rocky drops, with points another good spot to try. Walleye can be created by anglers this time of year. Bes1 places to try are along the shallow clay flats either early or late and also in the upper reaches of the lake near where the Guyandone River enters the lake. Best baits are jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. STONECOAL LAKE- Lake is at winter recreation level and clear. Fishing has been fair in the afternoon hours after the sun has warmed the surface temperature. Trout are being caught from boat and shore. Most of the fish are being caught with powerbait and spinners. A few bass are being caught on spinnerbaits. Experiment with size and color for the best action. Bluegill are being caught on worms. STONEWALL JACKSON- Lake is at winter recreation level. Lake ai1d tailwater are cloudy. Bass are hanging in about 10 feet of water and tight to cover. Spinnerbaits are working best for bass. Saugeye are being picked up by anglers while" trolling. Crappie fishing is fair. There are reports of action around beaver huts with minnows. A few . bluegill are being picked up on worms. SUMMERSVILLE - Lake is at winter recreation level. Lake and tailwater are clear. The cold weather has slowed the bite. However, afternoon hours after the sun has warmed the surface temperature Is a good time to fish . A few smallmouth are being caught around dropoils in the lake. Bluegill and crappie are being caught around the fish anractors and any other natural cover. Walleye are heading to shore to feed during the last hour of daylight. The tailwater is producing some nioe trout for the angler willing to walk a bit. SUTION - Lake is at winter recreation level. Lake and tailwater are clear. Fishing has been slow. The largemouth bass remain in deeper water. A few sponed bass are being caught along shorelioes. Bluegill are hitting small jigs and worms. Crappie can be caught on light line, jigs tipped with live bait or twistertails around fish anractors and blow downs. The ouHiow temperature of the lake is 40 degrees. TYGART- Lake is 46 feet below summer recreation level and will now fluctuate depending on rainfall. Lake .and tailwater are muddy. Winter anglers should concentrate on walleye, which will move into shallower water after dark to feed. Jigs with minnows or 3-inch twistertails are usually effective. Casting large rapalas along the shoreline after dark can also be productive. Bank anglers should start fishing about one hour before dark. Boat anglers should fish deeper water throughout the day. OHIO RIVER - During high water, walleye and sauger will be concentrated in the currents at lock and dam tailwaters and at creek mouths. The fish will be active throughout the day when the water is high, but during normal or tow flows, walleye and sauger will start feeding about an hour before sunset and then throughout the night. Jigs with minnows are particularly good baits, but 3-inch plastic grubs and deep-running crankbaits are also productive. Hybrid striped bass will also move in and out of the tailwaters and can be caught on large crankbaits, casting spoons or cut bait. Warm water discharges at power plants will anract fish all winter. KANAWHA RIVER - Sauger, saugeye and walleye are hitting minnow- and grub-tipped jigs fished near the tailwaters of the locks and dams. Fishing the shorelines with crankbaits and buzzba~s will catch black bass. MONONGAHELA RIVER - Warm water discharges at the Rivesville and Morgantown power plants will attract fish all winter. A pier at the Morgantown planf makes fishing safe and convenient. Reoent high water will have caused walleye and sauger to move into the lock and dam tailwaters. They will also congregate at tributary creek mouths, especially Buffalo, Paw Paw and Pricken creeks. Start fishing about an hour before sunset because sauger and walleye will begin feeding at dusk. Jigs with minnows are particularly good baits, but 3-inch plastic grubs and deep-running crankbaits are also productive. CHEAT LAKE - Anglers should not be afraid to launch boats with the present la:ke and river levels. If the lake is at the normal upper level when you launch a boat, it is unlikely to drop below launching levels in a 6· to 8-hour period. The lake is now in the winter operating mode and can fluctuate up to 13 feet daily, but this is very unlike· ly with higher river levels. A fall fishery survey revealed good walleye su rVival from tne 2002 and 2001 stockings, as well as a good population of channel caHish, large white bass, and Jarge bluegill. Winter anglers should now be concentrating on the · walleye and yellow perch. Sh oreline fishing will be best at the West Penn Beach Recreation Area in the backwaters or along the riprap og the lake side. Walleye fish ing will generally be better on windy days when light penetration is reduced.

In June, the landfill's owner, J.P. Mascaro & Sons, bought the park for about $700,000 and gave residents, including Buck, six months to get out. (AP) brown-and-white trailer, was laid off from her cleaning job last May, and hasn't been able to find work. "Without my hands, I can't do anything," said Buck, who operates heavy machinery for a living. Another resident, Barbara Yeager, 44, has been on disability since 1995. A friend who lives with her is 75 and gets by on Social Security. Their rent was only $280 - far less than what Yeager would have to pay for an apartment, or even to live at another trailer park. Yeager had planned to stay at Eddie Smith forever - even with the landfill looming over her trailer and methane threatening other homes nearby. "During the summertime, the smell from over there ..." said Yeager, wrinkling her nose. "You had rats, you had roaches." She wants to buy a $32,000 row house in the nearby city of Reading, but ·doesn't know if the bank will agree to lend her $2,240 for the do•vn payment. "If we don't get that loan, then we're (sunk)," she said. "I don't know what I'll do with all my stuff." Eddie Smith opened the trailer park, 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, in I 956. The landfill began operating at his doorstep just a few years later.

The affordability · of trailer hving enticed generations of lowincome residents, despite the mountain of trash that eventually accumulated along the length of the park.

BY AGNES HAPKA Staff writer GALLIPOLIS, Ohio It's very common for children to get up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons; when Sue Burleson was a kid she used to get up early to watch cooking shows. "I was interested in cookin~ l)t a young age," she s~td. "I was eight when I w·rote down my first recipe - for a chocolate swiss-roll -· and asked my mother to buy me the ingredients so I could make one," Burleson, a teacher at Career Buckeye Hills Center, added that desserts have always been her favorite things to make_ "One of the recipes I picked out is for baklava, a Greek dessert. Very sweet. "I like baklava; a lot of people do. But it's actually quite expensive to buy, so it makes more sense economically to make it." As far as kitchen habits are concenied, Burleson said she she loves gadgets. "Saladmaster makes a great range of pots and pans and things.

NEW YORK (AP) - The government asked a judge to reconsider his ruling that defense lawyers should be allowed to meet with Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member accused of plotting with aiQaida to detonate a dirty bomb. . . . . In a case being closely watched by ctvil liberties advocates, the government wrote in court papers Thursday that it may have failed in prior arguments ''to focus on the grave damage to national security" that would result if its interrogation of Padilla were interrupted. · Letting Padilla see a lawyer would "set back his interrogation by months, if not derail the process permanently," the government wrote. I~ ask~ U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey to reconstderhis Dec. 4 decision that Padilla could meet with an attorney. . · Defense attorneys have requested a full week of meetings with Padilla, with no restrictions on questions, and are expected to argue that he was improperly detained as an enemy combatant. Padilla, 31, was arrested Chicago's O'Hare International ~ on May 8 after he retumed from Pakistan. He was ftrst held as a material witness in a grand jury probe of the Sept. II terrorist attacks. He was designated an enemy combatant a month later and transferred to military custody. Defense lawyer Donna Newman, who took on Padilla's case before he was designated an enemy combatant, has repeatedly argued that his rights have been trampled. · "Without Padilla's input, this court is deprived of a full factual record," Newman has written. Thursday's court papers were signed by U.S. Attorney James Corney and U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement. They· said that interrogations of detained enemy combatants had already helped thwart I 00 or more attacks since September 2001. The government's tiling in the Padilla case carne a day after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals !" Richmond, Va., ruled that the government could detam U.S. citizens captured overseas as enemy combatants without concern for rights normally afforded in criminal cases. The case involved the only other U.S. citizen known to be held as an enemy combatant, Vasser Esam Hamdi, who was captured in Afghanistan.

(AP) - The Eddie Smith Trailer Park isn't much to look at, with rusted, dented mobile homes- most of them decades old - sitting atop acres of scrubland at the base of a working landfill. Old tires, broken furniture and empty propane tanks mar the landscape, but it's methane gas seeping from the ground, 1hreatening an explosion, that is forcing r~ s idents out. At least the ones who can afford to leave. "I want to get out. I will get out. But give me a little bit more time," said Harold Buck, 64, one of four trailer dwellers who face eviction after missing Monday's moving deadline. In June, J.P. Mascaro & Sons bought the trailer park for about $100,000 and gave residents six months to leave. Mascaro purchased the trailer park as part of a 60-acre expansion that will e11tend the Pioneer Crossing Landfill's life by 18 years. Company attorney William F. Fox Jr. said the trash hauler went out of its way to help the residents of Eddie Smith, giving them six months of free rent and offering to help them find places to live. "We did everything we could to help make the transition as painless .as posstble,",he said. Mascaro also pledged $8,000 in relocation assistance to each of 14 families whose trailers were threatened by methane - the primary component in natural gas. The trailers sat directly atop garbage buried in the first half of the 20th century, when the site was used as· a community dump. The decomposing refuse produces methane. The gas seeps from the ground and state environmental officials worry it could cause an explosion. Mascaro estimates I 00,000 cubic yards of trash are •buried underneath the trailer park - enough to till 10,000 dump trucks. Mascaro will spend about $5 million to excavate the garbage and bury it in the landfill. But first, Buck and the others have to leave. Money is tight, said Buck, who slipped on ice and broke his wrist in four places last month, and expects to be out of commission another four weeks.

For that reason I would have to say my mother has been the major influence in my own personal·cooking adventures. The principles of my cooking are based on the following questions: Is it filling? Is it nutritious ? Is it reasonably tasty? Is it quick and painless? My influence really should have been rny dad. He's the gourmet chef, the enfant terrible (throws terrific tantrums when something burns) of the Highgate cooking community- Highgate being the part of London where I grew up and where my parents still live. He's actually an architect, but we ' ve all been telling him for years he should open a country hotel and serve dinners. He 1 d make a killing, but he says he has no desire to leave London. So that's that. Although I dream about Dad's Pavlova, his steak au poivre, his appetizers with melon and parma ham and pastrami and bits of some kind of French cheese, his smoked salmon mousses and his apple tarts I have never tried to emulate him in the kitchen at all. I'm chicken. Instead, I copied my mother's style. My mother, an Australian, always put a very heavy emphasis on food. She still does, and her mother taught her to cook a lot of English dishes. So when I crave big heavy meals and lovely hearty English puddings winter or summer I have her to thank. No really, the fact that I still make the food she taught me to make when I was a teenager must mean something. I like it, my family likes it, it's not junk-food. What more can you ask? Here are two dessert recipes: One is traditionally Australian, and the other English: Agnes Hapka COLUMNIST I0 ounces self-rai sing flour 2 eggs 4 tbs. milk ';, tsp. vanilla extract Cream the butter and sugar, add beaten eggs with milk and vani lla. and add the sifted flour.

I'm having an identity crisis' Two weeks a,go I totally lost both names and I became Becky Collins. Now, I don't mind being mistaken for Becky Collins (she 's younge r and better-looking), hut 1 am getting tired of answering the phone and hea ring one of my former frie nds .say, "May I speak with Becky Collins?" So. I'l l introduce myself again . I am Beverly Gettles. re ti red librarian formerly employed by Gallia County Loc al School s and Rio Grande College (back before it became a university). I also ta ught a single year (fifth grade) at Clay Elementary and had both Brent Saunders and Barbara Shelton in my class. and thirty other nice kids and one brat in my class. While con sidering t)le identity crisis, I was wondering how many grown women have ever thought of running away from home ? There are some very good books by excellent writers which address exactly that question. Elizabeth Berg in "The Pull of the Moon," tells of a 50year-old mother of one daughter who leaves her husband for a cross-country automobile trip. She drives without destination from Boston to South Dakota and writes letters home to her husband and records her journey in a diary. It is one woman's story of coming to grips with a~ing and change. Thts really ts a lovely little book. I love everything Anne Tyler writes. In "Ladder of Years" she tells of a discontented wife who walks away from her boring husband and ungrateful nearly grown children while on a vacation at the beach. The way she pulls off this is nothing short of a miracle. She makes a new life for herself in another town. Her life story was similar to that of Nora in "The Doll's House," in that she had no life of her own before she was married and certainly no identity other rhan mother and wife after marriage. As in all of Tyler's novels, the change is · mostly internal, within the heart and soul of the characters. Though thi s particular book does not address the problem of tJle runaway wife and mother, another of my Anne Tyler favorites is ''Back when we were Grownups." The first line is one of the best in fiction : "Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person." (AP) - "Where do I go from here?" That's the question raised in two new books: Anita Brookner's novel "Making Things B~tter" and Po Bronson's nonfiction book "What Should I Do With My LifeT' "Making Things Better'' (Random House), Brookner's 2 Ist novel, tells the tale of Julius Herz, 73, retired London .shop clerk and loner, who reflects upon his empty life and contemplates how to make his remaining years more meaningful and satisfying. Bronson asked ''What Should I Do With My Life?" (Random House) to 900 people of various ages, professions and economic classes who have struggled to fmd fulfillment. Among the 55 featured in the book are a lawyer who became a truck driver to be closer to his son, a mother with Olympic hopes, and a teen boy whose life was changed by a letter from the Dalai Lama. These bookS are among the latest hardcover titles, which include novels by Richard Price, Pete Hamill and Jayne Ann Krentz; and nonfiction, including a history of the Victorian era, a memoir by the son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and a diary of the 2000 election by vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman and his wife. In Price's novel, the ''Samaritan" (Knopf) is Ray Mitchell, a TV writer who returns to New Jersey and becomes a volunteer teacher at his former high school near the housing projects of his youth. When Mitchell is beaten nearly to death, a detective who knew him from childhood takes the case - a frustrating task since Mitchell knows who attacked him but won't say. Cormac O'Connor has plenty to say: After all, he's more than 250 years old! In Pete Hamill's "Forever'' (Little, Brown), O'Connor arrives in New York from Ireland in 1740 and is given immortality for as long as he stays in Manhattan. His reflections provide an eyewitness account of the history of New York, as Beverly Gettles COLUMNIST Rebecca (Beck) Davitch is a 53-year-old widow with three stepdaughters and one daughter. Her husband, Joe, whom she married after a very brief courtship, died young in an auto accident, leaving Beck to host parties at the Open Arms (a row-house in Baltimore) and care for an aged uncle . Little happens · that is not ordinary everyday living, but Tyler writes so beautifully and with such style' Another favorite creator of wonderful women characters is Reynolds Price. In "Kate Vaiden" he tells Kate's story in letters to her son, whom she abandoned many years before. It is a story of loss, blame guilt and bad choices. Kate is an orphan whose father shot her mother, then himself. and she is permanently scarred. From this she learns that passion can be very dangerous. She feels somehow responsible for the death of her parents. She is a candid chronicler of her own life, "A real middle-sized white woman that has kept on going with strong eyes and teeth for fifty-seven years.' Kate has a hard ttme trusting anyone, especially men and especially love. She flees when anything seems ·too permanent She leaves her only son, Lee. saying, "Lee. Vaiden's been lucky not to grow next to me. When they made me, they left out the mothering part." Not always admirable, but always honest, Kate tells her story and lets her son make his own judgment about her. It is strange that in so many of these books about mature women longing for change, they end up graciously accepting what they already have. These are memorable books by three great writers. They won't appeal to everybody and sometimes, as in real life, there are no happy . endings. Maybe you have to be over· fifty to understand these women and their search for themselves. Maybe not (Beverly Gettles is a retired teacher living in Gallia County) it grew from a colonial settlement on Manhattan's southern tip into the bustling metropolis of today. Small-town Arizona is the setting for Krentz's 21st novel, ''Light in Shadow" (Putnam). Zoe is an interior designer with a psychic gift through which she feels the energy left by violence or trauma. When she feels violent vibes from one of her clients, she hires an investigator, who unexpectedly becomes the object of the interior designer's romantic designs. There's a big secret in Jeffrey Archer's "Sons of Fortune" (St. Martin's), too: 1'wo men running for governor of Connecticut don't know they are twins separated at birth. Nat was raised by his middle-class parents, Aetcher by a society millionaire couple. When Nat is charged with murdering his rival in the Republican primary, Aetcher. a criminal defense lawyer who is already .the Democratic candidate, agrees to defend him. In "The Victorians" (Norton), A.N. Wilson examines the 70-year period during the 19th century that witnessed a wealth of social, economic, artistic and technological innovations. He draws upon diaries, letters, news reports, books and other documents to re-create the era, and introduces readers to Victorian politics, art, religion and people, including Dickens, .

Early on, Updike shows how interviewers can promise one thinj! while burrowing toward therr real objective. There's a clear parallel to Kathryn's behavior and how journalist Janet Malcolm described a biographer as "a kind of confidence man, preying on people's vanity. Ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse." In "Seek My Face," we don't see the betrayal, assuming there is one. But we see Hope's initial wariness, then a gradually developing comfort level. Hope erows at ease, \;liding into the mtimacy of a conversation with a friend and then is occasionally jarred back to realizing she's bemg interviewed. Especially poignant are Hope's relationships with her children, particularly her strained link with her only daughter. Updike shows how Kathryn allows herself to drift into surro~ate-daughter status during the mterview as a way to get closer to Hope. "Hope knows Katturn doesn't want more paintmg talk from her but hopes to distmct her from the topic of her daughter." Updike writes. "Kathryn will not be distracted." -· .. -. ··- ----·· ···- - ~- (AP) - In "That Old Ace in the Hole," Pulitzer Prize.. winner Annie Proulx, author of "The Shipping News" (1994), trails the inscrutable Bob Dollar as he infiltrates Woolybucket, a small town on the Texas Panhandle. Proulx's tale keeps veering off course and into the lives and secrets of several generations of Woolybucket residents. A stubborn lot they are, too. They include hapless pioneers and heartbroken cowboys, a reserved bride with a lusty. wandering eye, a compulsive Dutchman who strikes it rich, a conniving saleswoman, an incestuous sheriff, a gregarious genealogist who loves deadly spiders, and a bison-herding moilk with a masterful command of the lasso. In Proulx's novel, they run wild across the history of the Panhandle, and amid all the confusion, it seems unlikely that she 'II be able to rein them into one tidy package. Her main plot follows Dollar, a young man sent to Woolybucket as an undercover land scout for industrial hog farms.

"When the vampire bat bites its victim, it secretes this powerful clot-dissolving substance so that the victim's blood will keep flowing, allowing the bat to feed," said Dr. Robert Medcalf of the Monash University Department of Medicine at Box Hill Hospital in Victoria, Australia. That same substanceDesmodus rotundus salivary plasminogen activator; or DSPA - might someday be given to stroke victims to dissolve clots and thereby limit brain damage, he said. The substance has yet to be tested for effectiveness and safety in humans, but it showed promise in preliminary experiments in mice. The findings were reported in thursday's issue of the journal Stroke, published by the American Heart Association. · The research involves ischemic strokes, which are the most common kind of stroke and occur when a blood clot or narrowing of blood vessels prevents blood from getting to the brain. The other type of stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel bursts and causes bleeding in the brain. Some ischemic stroke victims are given a clotbusting substance called tissue plasminogen activator, or TPA. But one major drawback of TPA is that it must be administered within three hours of the Sunday, January.I2, 2003 Magnetic surgery Vampires aid rnedic;al Vsmptre bat saliva contains an antlclolllng enzyme to provenfb~e wounds from closing before Researchers are testing a nt1N drug lor stroke victims that Is made using an enzyme tound In vampire bat saliva.

Medcalf's research team injected DSPA and TPA in mice and watched for brain damage. Mice that got DSPA suffered less brain damage. Medcalf said that DSPA is not only a more potent clot-buster but can also be safely administered up to nine hours . after the stroke's onset because it more precisely targets blood clots, which are held together by a string-like substance called fibrin. "DSPA is almost inactive in the absence of fibrin and therefore much more fibrin-specific than TPA," Medcalf said. One expert warned that the research was limited to mice that had not suffered strokes. Can DeLorenzoiAP "This is several factors removed from a necessarily meaningful clinical effect," said Dr. Larry Goldstei'n, director of Duke University's Center for Cerebrovascular Disease and chairman of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee. "Does this have potential? Yes. But whether it will prove to be safe or efficacious for humans with strokes, that's a whole different story." And Dr. Keith A. Siller, an assistant professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine, said that the nine-hour window is not necessarily an advantage. He said that any drug administered after three hours is essentially pointless because the damage to the brain has already been done. Best-selling authors teach fellow docs about fiction writing CAMDEN, Maine (AP) - The surgeon poised to remove your gall bladder or the internist you've consulted for a routine physical may be harboring dreams of writing a best-selling novel. To guide them toward that goal, two doctors who made their mark in fiction have drawn a growing number of their colleagues to a threeday. seminar held each fall in Massachusetts that offers practical training on how to write medical fiction and get it published. Tess Gerritsen and Michael Palmer, two of the biggest names in the medical thriller genre, make it plain to the aspiring authors that their chances of success are small, but there is no shortage of physicians prepared to give it a shot. "It's amazing how many of them are interested," said Gerritsen , whose best sellers include "Life Support," and "The "Gravity" Surgeon." She said part of the reason may be the frustration that some doctors feel about a profession that seldom provides room for creativity. "You're not supposed to be creative in medicine. You do what you're supposed to do and be objective and not make up things," she said, suggesting that those who look to writing "have thi s need to express another part of their brain." Palmer, author of I 0 books that include "Critical Judgment," "Natural Causes" and "Extreme Measures," said disenchantment about the way medi- cine is practiced is another catalyst that has doct or' exploring other opti ons.

He frequently asks me to look at them for him. What am I looking for? He worries about his moles being bad, but I can't get him to go tQ the doctor. Answer: Moles are very common. The average Caucasian has about 20 moles on his or her body. Moles are less common in people with heavily pigmented skin, such as African Americans. Most moles are hannless, but it is important to watch moles and know which changes can signal possible danger. Moles generally develop early in life and evolve over the life of the person. In childhood moles are flat, small brown lesions. Through adolescence and early adulthood, moles can ~w in size and become slightly raised. During pregnancy moles can become darker and larger. After you reach the age of 70, your moles could start to fade and degenerate. This process may continue as you grow older. · Regardless of your stage of life, however, a normal mole has sharp borders or margins, a uniform color, a symmetrical shape, and a smooth outline or contour. In general a non-cancerous mole -- technically called a benign mole -- is also smaller than a pencil eraser and of a single color, usually pink to tan to dark brown. When lookin¥ for an abnormal mole, it IDight be helpful to remember a mnemonic phrase that I've given to my medical students. It's the ftrst seven letters of the alphabet -A-B-C-D-E-F-G. Each letter stands for an important clue that could indicate a cancerous mole. If you notice any of the following, ask your family doctor or dermatologist to take a look at the mole: • Asymmetry (one side looks different th~ the other); • Border irre~larity; • Color vanation (two or three different colors in the same mole, such as black, brown, red, or white); • Diameter over 6mm (pencil eraser); . . • Elevation (raised above the skin surface); • Feeling or change in sensation (e.g., itching or unusual sensation); • Growth (noticeable increase in size). There is also the "ugly duckling sign." This is a mole that stands out or looks very different from all the rest of the moles on your body. Here are some additional things to look for that could signal that a mole is suspicious. A mole that ulcerates, or bleeds for over three weeks, moles that change in shape or color, and black lesions on non-sun exposed skin in Caucasian people. The good news is that most moles are benign, but the best way to determine if you should be concerned about a mole is to visit your physician for a thorough skin exam. Some physicians will "map" patient's moles and use this as a guide when doing follow up visits to see if moles have changed. "Family Medicine" is a weekly . column.

What you drink can help the heart ALL AGES, ALL TIME S 54 .00 ,_ _ -· Health·It Fitness PageC4 On the Bookshelf iunba~ limt~ ·itnttntl Page C5 (AP) - Scientists know drinking can prevent heart attacks, but new research shows that how often you imbibe is a lot more important than what or how much. As little as half a drink every other day is enough to reduce the risk, regardless of whether it ·is beer. red wine, white wine or liquor, the . study indicates. Whether you drink it with your meal or at some other time also appears irrelevant. "It was a surprise that almost regardless of other factors associated with drinking - frequency of use seemed to be what reduced the subsequent risk of a heart auack," said Dr. Kenneth Mukamal of Harvard University Medical School, who led the study. Those who drank at least three days a week had about one-third fewer heart attacks than did non-drinkers. And it made almost no difference whether the drinking consisted of half a drink or four. Those who imbibed only once or twice a week had only a 16 percent lower risk of a heart attack. Some studies have indicated that alcohol raises' the level of "good" cholesterol and also thins the blood, warding off the clots that cause heart attacks. Alcohol breaks down fairly rapidly in the body and its effects on red blood cells are short-lived, according to Mukamal. Mukamal speculated that regular, moderate drinking is beneficial because it helps keep the blood thinned. "We think it may be much like people take aspirin eyery day or every day. A little bit of alcohol on a regular basis helps keep the platelets from becoming sticky and prevents heart attacks," he said.

NEW YORK (AP) Sony chose Andrew Lack, NBC's president and chief operatin~ officer, to take the helm of tis mul\ic division on Friday, a day after Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola resigned to start a new l_a~l. The move was surpnsmg, considering Lack has no experience in the music industry; a veteran newsman, he worked at CBS News from 1976 to 1993 before j()ining NBC News. He was named president of the entire network in May 2001. "We are delighted that Andy will join Sony and lead our music cotnpany," Howard Stringer, chairman of Sony Corp. of America, said in a statement. "He is the most rare of senior entertainib~ht executives, equally adept at businesS\·• managemeht; strategy and value creation, as well as a consummate and proven developer of content, talent and ideas," said Stringer, a former CBS News president who like Lack, went on to becJme network president. Stringer said Lack would help "transfonn our music business in this most chal- · lenging time for that industry." Mottola, who helped develop the careers of former wife Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and others, announced his resignation Thursday, departing amid declining revenues and a lower market share. Sony enjoyed several highprofile, multiplatinum hits last year from such acts as Bruce Springsteen, Dion and the Dixie Chicks; it garnered numerous Grammy nominations on Tuesday. Sony is third among the five major music labels in terms of market share; it had 15.24 percent of the album market in 2002, a dip from 15.83 percent in 2001. Mottola's new label has not yet been named, but Sony is expected to be a partner. 'ltr + /lr jlr #I ir •· ... 14> tr * if ,;, * 1,r II i..

(AP) - Civil liberties groups are waging a city by city campaign against anti-terror laws they consider threatening to civil rights. The groups have successfully pushed city counci Is nationwide to approve resolutions criticizing the Patriot and Homeland Security Acts. Most of the participating municipalities are liberal strongholds. "The purpose is to express a protest and send a message to Congress that we don't like what they're doing," said Norm Wallen, who brought the resolution idea to the Flagstaff City Council last month as a member of the Flagstaff Peace Justice and Coalition, a chapter of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. The committee has been one of the main groups behind the push for the res'olutions. It provides a template for anti-Patriot Act resolutions on its Web site.

It was passed overwhelmingly by a broad majority of bipartisan congressmen. Everything we do is in accordance with the Constitution."

(AP) - A swgeons' strike over the high cost of medical malpractice insurance showed signs of ending Friday, when three doctors returned to work and area legislators endorsed a plan to tackle soaring insurance premiums. "It's time for them to go back to work," said Joe Carey, spokesman for Gov. Bob W1se. About two dozen doctors at four hospitals in the state's Northern PanhandJe walked out Jan. l, forcing the hospitals to cancel elective surgenes and transfer more than 30 patients to other medical centers. Administrators say the action is costing them thousands of dollars aday. The surgeons say the action is meant to pressure the state to deal with the high cost of malprdCiice insurance, which lhey blame in part on state laws that they say make it relatively easy to bring lawsuits. They have said they would remain off the job until the region's lawmakers endorsed changes Wise proposed Wednesday. The proposed legislation aims to offset insurance premiums with $20 million in credit~ and a cap on damage awards. It was endqrsed by the area's eight lawmakers after ;t closeddoor briefing at the Capitol with the state's insurance chief, Tom Susman.

Timothy A. Werth, 33, .entered the plea in U.S. District :Court in Manhattan a day after :John Rigas, the 78-year-old ·founder of the Coudersport, Pa, :company, learned that his trial :would begin next January. Weith pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities .fraud ·and securities fraud, and faces a sentence o( 15 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines if convicted. "I deeply regret my part in this fraud. I should have walked out rather than agree to participate,'' Werth told the court. District Judge Gerard Lynch set sentencing for Feb. 20, 2004. Rigas, two of his sons, and another former -executive, James Brown, were accused of one of the largest corporate frauds in U.S . history. The government said they looted corporate accounts, in part to build a ·golf course, as they lied to investors llboUt the company's massive debts . At the company. Weith hijd said he had to borrow money twice last year to J?SY $73,000 a year for malpracuce insurance, and expected !hose costs to rise to $100,000. On Friday, two surgeons returned to Wheeling Hospital, and the other to Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling. "I am hopeful more wi II come," said Dr. Donald Hofreuter, Wheeling Hospital's chief executive.· Ohio Valley said it would need about two weeks for operations to return to normal once the surgeons return, but the other three hospitals said they could resume usual functions within hours. 49F<Myodtfied 50 Abundanl 54 Saw eye-to-eye 55 Knox and Oix 56 Nursery llem 57 Htallhy upstalr8 56 Mr. GellhWin 59 store events eo Saawaler 61 Scold 82 Earns as prollt 64 Aosool 65 Flower stalk 66 More nr111ty DOWN 93 Axadgazo 94 Plummo1B 95 A . - olernonl 96 JuiM Vemo c:ap1aln 97ScoJia 98 L.ergoat known utlrold 99Ufo'aworl< 102 One-OOrnped camol 105 Parlor 1116 AI !all 107 SlugQIIh =to I · 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 109 Soroery 110 113 10 Animal enelo&ure 11 Fot9>! agalnsl 12 School book 13 Hay bun<les 14Frools 15 aut.z 16 Mal<ebellevo 17 Chow down 18 Spllng month 19 Slralnor 24 Undorslal1ds 31 Old-laahloned 32 lsllllen 33 Not a1 all chubby 38 S1o!y 38 Cetchors' gloves 40 Japanese enler111iner llnance 114 P-donna 115~t 119 Eloc. oolt 120 Of Holy WrH 123 Lady of Spain 125 Panni! 126 Roe! lor IBpe 128 Sound rauonlng 129 Hajlpen again 130 Factory 132 -Haute 133 The upper crust 134 Ad Hke a ham 135 Because 138 Heavy molal 137 Walked through water 138 DISCharged 139 Lawn lool 42 Falsef1ood 43 Kltoh&n gadge1 44 Tapered end 45 Garage service, for ohon 46 Dr1zzles 47 Leggy bird 46 Tal< on and on 49 Kind ol energy 50 Adobe 51 Swoon 52 Leas !han 53 DlslrUsfful 55 Oeady 56 Hoisting device 59 WOI horae COpper-and-line alloy 61 Cubicle 53 Mineral opring 64 Fish wi11l hook 67 Dance move 68 ;lpproadl 69 Practlcal Jol<• eo 70 Punla - Eate 71 Endeavor 72 Heavenly being 74 Bonte tor ol and ine 75 Mucullne 65 Main lmpaC1 ~:CXQ!Ga. 66 Repalm 69 Dr1ed plum 70 F1lls 73 Memorandum 74 Blad<ens wl1h heal 75 Repas1s 76 Sweet po1a10 81 Eachaws 82 Animal group 83 Eastern servant 87 TeH 89 Meager 90 Hils again and again 91AdclllionoJ 92 Uke an 1n &haps nLoat eoo 78 Crowbar reported to Brown, the former vice president of finance.

Bob Taft began his second term early Monday by acknow !edging that balancing the next budget will be tougher than any in the past 50 years. But Taft, a Republican, said he is more prepared than he would have been if similar economic difficulties had existed when he first took office four years ago. "I am a little more calm and comfortable with what is happening," Taft, 61, said after he and Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley were sworn in at midnight in a brief ceremony at the governor 's residence in suburban Columbus. "I have got my feet on the ground," he said. "I have got a Ohio EPA says coke plant caused extreme cancer risk NEW BOSTON (AP) People who I ived near the New Boston Coke plant during the 1990s are more at risk for cancer than almost anyone else in the world, state officials said. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one of every 5.00 people exposed to airborne benzene and other chemicals from the plant has a higher-than-normal risk of developing cancer. By contrast, the cancer risk in most urban areas is between one case per I 00,000 people and one per I million. . .. '111at wa~ a record," EPA taxi- . etllo~ist Paul kovai siliil in a story pubhshed Sunday . in The Columbus Dispatch. "We were hard-pressed to find any other place in the country, or even the world, with levels that high." The EPA won a. $2.6 million court judgment against New Boston Coke last month, which until last spring operated the processor in this Ohio River villa~e of 2,340 people about 85 miles south of Columbus. Mayor Jim Warren said nobody in town knew how bad the pollution was or the risks it posed. "We thought everything was under control," Warren said. "Then again, we live in a river valley lined with steel mills and chemical plants. We're ~etting it from all sides every day.' A ruling issued in December by Scioto County Common Pleas Judge Howard Harcha said New Boston Coke never complied with pennits that required it to limit air pollutio9 from 1ts battery of ovens, which baked coal into coke for fueling blast furnaces in Midwestern steel mills.

Taft was sworn in among friends and family members in front of the frreplace in the living room and signed the document at his dining room table. The swearing-in, conducted by Chief Justice Thomas Moyer of the Ohio Supreme Court, was to be repeated in a ceremonial event open to tho: public later Monday morning. Taft said completing the Third Frontier high-tech project will be one of his top goals. Taft wants to spend $1.6 billion to improve hightech research in such areas as biomedical science to retain and attract higher-paying jobs. Bradley, 50. a bank vice president and Columbus city councilwoman, became the nation's first black woman to serve as lieutenant governor. She was also appointed director of the Ohio Department of Commerce. Bradley said the significance of being elected the first black woman lieutenant governor started to hit her after she was sworn in.
